Why You Can Trust These Guides
My wife and I created these guides to help families like yours plan better trips — with less stress and more meaningful moments together.
As a husband and dad, I don’t just look for fun. I look for ways to save time, avoid stress, and create the best possible experiences for my family — and now, yours too.
Our son is 7 and our daughter is 3, so every trip we take is real-world tested. We’re not just visiting these places… we’re figuring out what actually works for families.
Real Experience. Real Strategy.
I’ve spent years working in and visiting theme parks across the country:
Kings Island (2004–2005)
Six Flags New England (2006–2007)
SeaWorld Orlando (2008–2010)
Universal Orlando (2012–2014)
I also lived in Orlando for 8 years and continue to visit top destinations like Orlando, the Smoky Mountains, and Myrtle Beach multiple times per year.
After seeing how much time and money people waste on poorly planned trips, I created these guides to give families a clear, proven plan.
What Makes These Guides Different
These aren’t generic travel guides.
They’re built from real visits, real strategies, and real experiences.
✔ Step-by-step planning strategies
✔ Designed for actual park days
✔ Built to save time and avoid mistakes
✔ Honest recommendations — never paid placements
Everything is created with one goal in mind:
👉 Help you have a smoother, more enjoyable trip
Built From Real Content
I started my first YouTube channel, Theme Park Brandon, in 2020 — now with over 50,000 subscribers and millions of yearly views.
In 2023, I launched Travel Guides USA to help families plan trips beyond theme parks, reaching over 30,000 subscribers and growing fast.
These guides are an extension of that — taking everything I’ve learned and turning it into a clear, easy-to-follow plan you can use right away.
My Real Goal
My main passion isn’t just theme parks or travel.
It’s giving my kids a better childhood than I had growing up — and helping families like yours create the kind of memories that last a lifetime.
If these guides can help you stress less, save time, and enjoy your trip more… then I’ve done my job.
Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy life to check out my content. It means the world to my family and I!
One Last Thing
These guides are not affiliated with any parks or destinations.
Every recommendation is based on real experiences and honest advice — so you can plan with confidence.
If you’re planning a trip, I hope these guides help you have the best experience possible.
